Liu Xiu spent this year in Luoyang. After www.biquge.info returning from Jizhou, Zhang Ming personally rushed to Luoyang and communicated with Ma Qiang, and they took the portrait provided by Liu Xiu to visit the Yellow Turban Army, and found that things were the same as Liu Xiu's estimate, Yingzi's mother had been in Julu City for a long time.

Her appearance is very obvious, a shabby silk dress is not white sè, but few people can tell, but from winter to summer, and then to autumn, she is always dressed in single clothes, and she is not called cold in winter, and she is not called hot in summer, which leaves a deep impression on those who have seen her. Because she is quite good-looking, some people have thought about her thoughts, but this woman is very fierce, and after scratching a few unscrupulous people one after another, no one dares to provoke her again.

Ma Qiang scolded, such a crazy woman, she has been in the city for more than half a year, and you haven't noticed it? Others can't see that this woman has Taoism, and you guys can't see it either?

Zhang Ming pinched his nose and didn't dare to say anything, he himself felt ashamed of this.

However, the contradictions within the Yellow Turban Army can be put aside for a while, how to tide over the current difficulties and ensure the survival of millions of displaced people is the biggest problem, to solve this problem, the only way to solve this problem is to ask for help from the Son of Heaven and Liu Xiu, ask for help from the Son of Heaven, and finally ask Liu Xiu for help, because the Son of Heaven is also empty-handed.

However, although the Son of Heaven has no money, he has the right, and if he wants Liu Xiu to support, he must first nod his head. Zhang Ming and Ma Qiang jointly visited Liu Xiu, sincerely asked for advice, and then understood and went back to start a guerrilla war in Montenegro.

To say that Zhang Jiao's plagiarism of Liu Xiu's achievements in running a military academy is still there, under the teaching of the kingdom, the Yellow Turban Army has indeed cultivated a group of believers with useful military ability, who have grown up rapidly in the tragic war, played a mainstay role, and brought into full play a tactic formulated by the kingdom to divert the tiger from the mountain.

At the beginning of November, the Yellow Turban, which had been silent for a while, suddenly set out to enter the Changshan country and plundered the area around Zhending. After Yuan Shao received the report of Changshan Xiang Feng Xun, he immediately led his army into Changshan. The two sides fought back and forth in Changshan for more than half a month. Just when Yuan Shao went all out and defeated the Yellow Turbans, the main force of 30,000 Yellow Turbans killed Handan. Yuan Shao took away most of the main force, and the Yellow Turban Army swept through Zhao County, Wei County and Qinghe in just half a month. They don't go to attack the county seat. Instead, they concentrated their forces on the mighty Dock Forts. These heroes helped Yuan Shao a lot, and formed a deep enmity with the Yellow Turban Army, attacking them could not only grab the food for the winter, but also take revenge, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The forts of the powerful are indeed strong enough, but they are not strong enough to withstand the attacks of tens of thousands of people, not to mention these vengeful divisions that have grown up in blood and fire, almost invincible, and none of them are spared.

Yuan Shao learned the news. Hurriedly led the division back to help, but was ambushed by the Yellow Turban in Bo Luojin, although he saw the opportunity quickly, his strength was indeed strong, and he did not lose too much, but he learned the changeable tactics of the Yellow Turban. He no longer dared to underestimate the enemy, so he had to fight steadily and steadily, step by step. But that's it. The speed of his march was also greatly reduced, and by the time he arrived at Zhao County, the Yellow Turban Army had already returned with a full load, leaving him with nothing but devastation.

The faces of those powerful people suddenly became ugly. If you can't protect us, what's the point of us supporting you?

Yuan Shao complained bitterly, and he didn't care that the New Year was approaching, so he had to lead the army to Montenegro to suppress the bandits. But when it comes to running in the mountains, Yuan Shao's sharpest cavalry is not needed, not to mention the size of Montenegro. As soon as Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of soldiers were scattered, he couldn't even see a shadow, and the yellow scarves didn't fight, but he lost a lot of men and horses because of the dispersion of his troops, but if he concentrated his troops to attack, where could he catch up with those homeless people.

Black Mountain was like a quagmire, and Yuan Shao was deeply trapped in it. When the battle report reached Luoyang, those who were about to ask for credit for Yuan Shao closed their mouths one by one, who was embarrassed to ask for credit for Yuan Shao at this time, isn't this a slap in the face.

Thereupon. The matter of discussing merit stopped unconsciously, and no one in the court mentioned it again. The Son of Heaven became more active, and invited Situ Yuan Kui into the palace in three days, and wanted to discuss the matter of rewarding him with him, Yuan Kui was embarrassed by him every time, and he inevitably got angry with Yuan Feng after turning back, in contrast, Nanyang was relatively quiet, and finally didn't let him lose all his face.

Liu Xiu's task is to go into the palace every day to accompany the Son of Heaven to chat, and then discuss how to weaken the Yuan family, most of the time the Son of Heaven is talking and Liu Xiu is listening. I have to say that the Son of Heaven has the temperament of a poet, this idea is really whimsical, an idea for a while, but unfortunately most of them are not feasible. The only reliable thing is that the Son of Heaven saw the role of the Yellow Turban Army and asked Liu Xiu to transfer some food from Bingzhou to support the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Xiu raised a question, there are millions of yellow turbans, not only the difficulty of relief is great, but the bigger question is what to do next year? It is not possible to rely on relief all the time, no one can help these millions of people for a long time, the only way is to let them cultivate their own land, but how much land can Montenegro have? The best way is to first move some people to Shangdang, then gradually move to the Xihe and Shangjun areas, and if possible, then move some people to Guanzhong. Moving those old and weak to the west can reduce the burden of ~~~ light the Yellow Turban Army, enhance their combat effectiveness, and at the same time disperse them, so as not to raise tigers in the end.

The Son of Heaven agreed, so Liu Xiu ordered Beizhonglang to lead Zhao Yun to lead the army to the expedition, from Fukou and Jingcheng two roads, with the tacit cooperation of the Yellow Turban Army, they "captured" a lot, respectively captured more than 100,000 people, moved them to Lishi, Fushi, Gaonu area, and then took the initiative to "surrender" in an endless stream. The battle exploits were reported to the imperial court, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what he was doing, but Yuan Kui could only be slapped by the Son of Heaven, and there was nothing he could do.

Of course, the Son of Heaven did not give Yuan Shao an edict to expand the army, it does not mean that Yuan Shao could not expand the army, with the help of Jizhou Haoqiang, he suddenly had an additional 30,000 troops, with a total strength of more than 70,000, and almost the entire Jizhou was tied to Yuan's chariot by him.

The battle between the two sides has reached the point of-for-tat, and only the last thin piece of paper has not been pierced. The Son of Heaven still has a nominal advantage, but in the face of the Yuan family's inflated forces, he is also worried and hurried, unable to sleep at night, and his physical condition is getting worse and worse.

Although the merit was suspended, Cao Cāo's appointment soon came down, and he was promoted to the general of Zhendong because of his merits, leading the Yanzhou Assassin History, and sitting in Chenliu. In charge of military affairs of neighboring states and counties, in addition to Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou are also within the scope of their jurisdiction, which can be said to be not high and powerful. If he can control these three states well, the plan of the Son of Heaven and the East and West will be realized.

The Son of Heaven's gaze fell on Cao Cāo. He is very sensitive to his every move, even to the point of being a little nervous. Cao Cāo is twenty-nine years old this year, and he has been in the officialdom for nearly ten years, this time he took on such a heavy responsibility, he did not seem to be stage frightened at all, and after arriving in Yanzhou, he made drastic rectifications, and killed many heroes who did not deal with him in one breath by clearing the reason for the yin ritual.

Among them, his handling of Jinan is the most prominent. Jinan was a feudal state of Liu Zhang, King of Chengyang Jing, in the Western Han Dynasty, because in the struggle to eradicate Zhulu. Liu Zhang has made great contributions, so he was specially ordered to establish an ancestral hall in China. Jinan belongs to the Qi cultural circle, Qi people originally believe in immortals and the like more than people in other places, the fairy culture is prosperous, most of the Western Han Dynasty generation of scholars are from Qi, so there are many various shrines in the country, there are more than 600 temples in Jinan alone, which can be seen everywhere. There are many shrines. There were more people who collected money in the name of ghosts and gods, and ordinary people did not have much money, and the sacrifice was in the hands of those who had money and power, and outside the regime, they also held divine power, which was even more invincible.

As soon as Cao Cāo arrived, he first impeached the Qingzhou Assassin for being incompetent, and then wrote a book recommending Yan Yu, a native of Langzhong in Bajun County, whom he knew during the Bashu Campaign, as the Qingzhou Assassin History. His book was naturally recognized by the Son of Heaven. After Yan Yu took office, Cao cāo attacked Jinan. Those ancestral halls were destroyed one by one, and those who grasped the divine power and ran rampant in the township were also arrested and brought to justice one by one.

It is also strange to say that Cao cāo destroyed so many ancestral halls, but did not destroy the Laojun Ancestral Hall, which was built by Zhang Liang when he was the assassin of Qingzhou, and those who were in charge of the sacrifice of the Laojun Ancestral Hall. It has something to do with Taiping Dao. The reason for this is not enough for outsiders.

Of course, nothing can be done smoothly, and Cao Cāo's resolute methods have also met with a lot of resistance, and the impeachment of his abuse of power flew like snowflakes, but they were all held back by the Son of Heaven. At this time, don't say that you killed the wrong few people, that is, Cao Cāo opened a killing ring in the Qingxu area, even if he killed all the heroes in the Qingxu area, as long as he can still control the situation, the Son of Heaven will not say a word about him. What if you can't control the situation? There is only one use left for those who can't control the situation, and that is to be scapegoats.

Cao Cāo knew this, so he was also walking on thin ice, and he was more nervous than the Son of Heaven.

The only one who seems to be relaxed is Liu Xiu. In addition to entering the palace every day to listen to the Son of Heaven talk about the blueprint of Zhongxing or worrying about the Yuan family, Liu Xiu went home to accompany his wife, cultivated the land with his heart, and his hard work paid off, Wang Chu, who had no competition, was pregnant again, and he vomited happily every day, but when he vomited, he said with a smile that this pregnancy reaction was stronger than last time, and it should be a son.

Liu Xiu was speechless, but he also knew what Wang Chu was thinking, she and the eldest princess couldn't compare, only Feng Xue was a Hu person, Feng Xue was a Hu person, her son had the blood of the Hu people, and in the Han who valued Huayi's distinction, the Ah Niu she gave birth to was only a little better than her daughter, as long as she could give birth to a son, she would definitely have a higher status than Ah Niu.

Liu Xiu himself didn't care about this, but he couldn't change other people's thinking, and from his heart, he didn't want his future heir to have Hu blood, after all, this was not just his family's industry, but the entire Han industry.

If the eldest princess is destined to have no children, then it is indeed not bad for Wang Chu to have a son to inherit, who made Wang Chu destined to have a son as the emperor. This can't be said nonsense now, but when it comes time to fight for the world, it will be somewhat useful.

Perhaps, this is fate and it is impossible to say, she snatched love from the clutches of the Son of Heaven and snatched her from the clutches of the Son of Heaven, then she gave birth to a son to inherit her career, which is also in line with Xiangshi's prophecy.

Liu Xiu occasionally talked to Wang Chu about this matter in a joking voice, Wang Chu was happy and afraid, happy that Liu Xiu also hoped that she would have a son, and the scared Liu Xiu really had the idea of rebellion, although the signs of chaos today were already obvious, but after all, rebellion was still a heinous crime of extermination, and it was easy to say, not to mention that the Son of Heaven had always been wary of Liu Xiu.

"You can't talk nonsense out there." Wang Chu said to Liu Xiu.

"Hahaha......" Liu Xiu stroked Wang Chu's unchanged belly, and said with a smile: "I can only tell you these words, even the eldest princess, I can't say a word." You have to be careful, no one can say. ”

"I'll save this." Wang Chu nodded again and again.

Liu Xiu said on a whim, "Although my son has not yet been born, he may be a noble person, so I have to put up a lantern and pray for him." ”

Wang Chu was overjoyed, and he had to have another time with Liu Xiuwen.

The custom of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month originated from the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne because Zhou Bo pacified the Zhulu Rebellion on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so he had to go out of the palace to play and have fun with the people on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian created the "Taichu Calendar" and officially listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival. However, the Lantern Festival began only to lift the curfew, but there was no custom of lighting lamps, this custom was introduced from Buddhism to the Central Plains, initially Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty in the palace and White Horse Temple to burn lamps to show Buddha, and later evolved into ordinary people also lighting lamps to pray for blessings.

Of course, lanterns are sold, but it is the habit of most parents to tie a lantern for their children. In the middle of the first month, it is the agricultural season, even the officials have not officially started work, and it is normal for people to put up a lantern for their children and enjoy the joy of family. Even the Son of Heaven is no exception, and this year he specially put a lantern on each of the two princes. However, each of the emperor's concubines will get a lantern of Liu Xiuzha, and now although he has entered the palace, he is still reluctant to give up this right, and specially asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to Liu Xiu to tie him one according to the practice of previous years.

On the twelfth day of the first month, when Liu Xiu was busy setting up lanterns and praying for the child in Wang Chu's womb, Liu Bei rushed to Luoyang.

"The Yuan family went to Zhuojun to investigate my family's affairs?" Liu Xiu was taken aback, put down the colored paper and paste in his hand, pondered for a moment, and sneered again: "They are really persistent enough, do they have to find something from my parents?" I'm going to see what they can do. Xuande, you came all the way, you have worked hard, take a good rest. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to pay a New Year's greeting to the Queen Mother, and by the way, I will bring him the lanterns I tied for the emperor's concubine. ”！。
